HD800 SERIES DRIFTERS – FOR FURUKAWA FRD TIER IV ROCK DRILLS

Performs in harder rock at a large diameter.

The HD800 series drifters are designed to minimize drill noise and vibration without sacrificing performance. Incorporating a new piston design, the HD800 series drifters maximize energy transmission and drills effectively in a variety of rock types.

A new piston actuating mechanism performs with more percussion and generates more power at the same time, outperforming the FRD’s HD712 drifter.

An Industry First

  • Dual-Damper System (DDS)

  • Greater Impact Efficiency

  • New Piston Design

Furukawa FRD has developed the Dual-Damper System, a first in the industry. For maximum energy transfer, active DDS minimizes the return of shock waves by keeping the bit firmly against the rock at all times during drilling.  It also minimizes percussion energy loss, and by optimizing the overall feed force, greatly improves the life of drilling accessories. Active DDS (U.S. Patent No. 5,896,937).

The drifter’s wedge type piston allows for greater impact efficiency.

Dependable Blasthole Drills Start at Step One

Blasthole rigs and drills don’t need much explanation. They’re used for drilling a hole into the surface of the rock, packing the hole with explosives and then detonating those explosives in the blasthole to break up rock and hard minerals to make it easier to remove.
